With her divorce settlement behind her, Britney Spears took time out on Saturday night to do something for the kids, adding star wattage to Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey's fundraiser for Generation Rescue, an organization dedicated to researching autism. "She looked great and seemed really happy," says a partygoer of the Snow Queen Vodka-sponsored shindig at the couple's home in Brentwood. Though she kept close to her assistant Brett and didn't speak to other guests, "She smiled and clapped during the video about autism. She was very into the information and watched a little bit of the dancers from Dancing with the Stars, sneaking out during one of the performances."
Also at the bash were newlyweds Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller ("The honeymoon isn't over!" remarked one guest), a "lovey-dovey" Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan, who kissed and danced all night, and of course the host couple. "Jenny and Jim were adorable," says the guest, "She kept saying, 'I love you honey' to him when she thanked him from the stage." Carrey, not to be outdone by the DWTS folks, soon took to the dance floor, even challenging another guest to a playful dance-off.
A New York limousine company with customers including BRITNEY SPEARS has admitted secretly videotaping its famous passengers.
Ready to Roll bosses claim the tapes are to prevent passengers running off without paying. But celebrity customers are fuming after they were tipped off by the wife of a driver who was recently fired, reports TMZ.com.
According to TMZ, Kevin Spacey, John Goodman, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman have also used the company on regular occasions.
Spears had been scheduled to begin shooting a video montage for Madonna's upcoming tour this morning at the Lots soundstage in Hollywood. But production insiders say that because the set was not finished in time, cameras will not roll until tomorrow. The set features an elevator, in, around and on which Spears will dance.
"The video will be very deep," a source in the Spears camp tells E! News. "You've never seen Britney like this before. It will blow your mind." Madonna reached out to Britney to do the project, says the source. The Material One's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, would only say that "there is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna's upcoming tour" and that the segment was not a music video. "That is all the information I have available," the rep added. "The rest is a secret."
Troubled pop star Britney Spears could perform at this year's MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, despite being ridiculed after last year's wayward appearance. The singer was laughed at for her shambolic showing at 2007 ceremony, appearing dazed as she struggled to remember the lyrics and dance routine to Gimme More. However, bosses have not ruled her out as a potential performer at this year's bash in September. Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group, said: "Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right? "I'm not sure how we top Britney opening the show. We are working on it every minute of every day."
Britney was reportedly spotted "crying badly" backstage after her performance in Las Vegas last year as her comeback was described as a "disaster". Wearing a sparkly black bra and hot pants, she looked bleary eyed and unfit as she struggled to keep up with her energetic backing dancers, who threw themselves around stripper poles. Cameras revealed celebrity guests, including 50 Cent, scoffing at Britney's performance, while Rihanna was seen in fits of laughter. Following the song, comedienne Sarah Silverman came on stage and sarcastically said: "Was that incredible? Britney Spears, everyone. Wow. She is amazing. She is 25-years-old and she's already accomplished everything she's going to accomplish in her life. It's mind blowing." Since then, Britney's career has been in decline and she has struggled to get her personal life back on track following her breakdown earlier this year.
However, she has been pictured recently looking healthy and happy emerging from dance studios and last week was granted overnight access to her sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 21 months.
